Police said someone may have seen the man driving the Curriers' green Saturn on Pearl Street in Essex Junction last Thursday afternoon. The car was found abandoned last Friday in an apartment complex on that street.

The couple was reported missing Thursday morning by a family member when neither of them showed up for work. Sunday, family members asked those in the community to come foward with any possible information.

Essex Police also said Tuesday that the couple had purchased a handgun sometime before their disappearance. They did not comment further on where that handgun might be.
